looking for advice on how to socialise sober
Over the past 185 days i've been sober and very glad to say its going well. The main issue I'm having with it is being sociable outside of work. I work long hrs every week and when I do have free time its ussualy spent alone. Its tough to go out and socialize bc since the age of 14 drinking and smoking weed were what I did to socialize.
Over these past 6 months I've been working on coming out of my shell, but finding places to meet people with the same sober mindset is tough. I'm not one who goes to meetings bc in the past I always relapsed and so far its been working out for me, but I'm considering it jus for the social aspect. Since I quit drinking about two yrs ago I havnt gone to many parties or really been social in that regard and I'm yurning to meet new people. its tough to go and do something when you are clueless on how to go about it
Any advice would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks
